16. Microphotography

16.1 Use of C-mount cameras

1. Loosen the clamping screw ① on the trinocular port
and remove the dust cap ②. (Fig. 75)
2. Screw the C-mount adapter ③ to the camera ④ and
insert the round dovetail of the C-mount into the emp-
ty hole of the trinocular port, then tighten the clamping
screw ①. (Fig. 76)
16.2 Use of Reflex cameras
1. Insert the Reflex adapter ② into the relay tube to the
microscope ①.
2. Screw the "T2" ring ③ (not provided) to the reflex adapt-
er.
3. Connect the Reflex camera ④ to the "T2" ring just in-
stalled (Fig. 77).
4. Mount the other end of the relay tube ① into the emp-
ty hole of the trinocular port, then tighten the clamping
screw. (Fig. 75)
• "T2" ring is not provided along with the microscope, but
is commercially available.
• While shooting dark specimens, darken eyepieces and
viewfinder with a dark cloth to minimize the diffused
light.
• To calculate the magnification of the camera: objective
magnification * camera magnification * lens magnifica-
tion.
• If using an SLR camera, mirror movement may
cause the camera to vibrate.
• We suggest lifting the mirror, using long exposure
times and a remote cord.
